My experience here has been nothing but great. The nurses and doctors were very friendly and understanding of my situation. They made me feel welcomed and calm at all time. The counselor that helped me at first kept in touch with me and would email/call me to make sure I was doing well. It was very thoughtful of her and I felt like I had someone I could talk to anytime.
My daughter was born in this hospital this year and the service was exceptional. I didn't know what to expect with having my first baby. The nurses were all so warm and friendly. My room was large and had a tub and large bench type area for dad to lay down. They had heated towels and blankets they use during delivery. They give you a new small pack of newborn diapers and dry cloths. The mesh underwear they give you are the most comfortable thing you will ever wear and if you ask for more they give it to you. The food was awesome from the cafeteria. You can order a meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with lots of variety. I highly recommend the chicken wrap and burger if you want something filling after delivery. I hope if I have another baby to be delivering here again!
Very Happy. My wife and I recently had our first child here. All of the doctors and nurses were very professional, caring, helpful and kind. Especially nurse Emma, Yen, Money and Mary. These nurses went above and beyond their job parameters to make sure we were okay. Special shout out to Emma who stuck around with us to make sure we were okay and take photos even though it was way past her shift! Everyone who worked here were really passionate in what they do and my wife and I are very grateful to have delivered our first baby here. It gave me real piece of mind knowing that my wife and baby were in very good hands.
I went into this hospital at 10cm dilated and ready to push. I was wheeled into the first open area past the waiting room with about 8 people in it watching me (it wasn't a private room even though they had them there). They proceeded to give me pain medication I didn't want and had been holding off of for the entire labor. They gave me an epidural which I also didn't want while I was clearly in active labour. I was forced to lay flat on my back after spending almost the entire labour upright and the doctor told me I had two pushes to get my baby out or he would give me a cesarean. Pushing out a baby in two pushes is probably the most unnatural thing a woman can do and leads to consequences in the future but his threat made me determined and it turns out it is possible. The epidural they gave me that I never wanted while I was in active labour ended up puncturing the area protecting the spinal column and led to a spinal headache. A spinal headache is basically when the fluid surrounding your brain starts leaking down your spinal column every time you stand up because the epidural needle punctured the area surrounding the spine. It is excruciatingly painful. I had to spend the first 4-6 weeks postpartum flat on my back in a dark room. I could barely care for my older daughter or keep an eye on her as I was in so much pain.I could stand for about a minute at a time before I'd have to lay flay on my back again. I feel like so many medical issues that arose after going into this hospital could have been avoided if they just let me push (preferably not while laying flay on my back), caught the baby and handed him to me.
My 5 star review is directed at the Early Pregnancy Assessment Clinic at the hospital... the amazing staff here always made me feel comfortable, safe, calm and cared for. I had a complicated situation and went a long time before I had any answers or felt like I knew what was going on with my body- until I went to the EPAC clinic. They were professional and caring and took the time with me to thoroughly asses me and my situation and were able to give me answers. Throughout my two and a half months they continuously called and checked in on me to see how I was doing. I really wish I went to them right from the start. If youre pregnant or looking to get pregnant, I would strongly recommend going here and seeing the incredible staff. You are able to self refer as early as 4 weeks along as well. Thank you EPAC for bringing me answers and for truly making me feel cared for.
